Length *alone*? Not many people I run into who aren't just being your typical trolls are like that. But as one person pointed out, the "length doesn't matter argument" runs into the issue of the lack of a lower limit, which there must be. How short is too short? When does shortness go from being a stylistic choice to being a severe mark against value? It will vary from genre to genre, but there must be a floor under this. I think what has people so paranoid over short games right now is that we have had games come out lately that their shortness was indicative of a literal lack of meaningful content. Those two do not always correlate though. Also, marketing overhype has left a lot of people more cynical now than they were over a year ago.
